NDR-UK is a company limited by guarantee, and a registered Scottish charity.

A five-year programme of funding from the Scottish Government to assist NDR-UK to become self-financing came to an end in March 2015. NDR-UK is now largely a self-sufficient social enterprise, with the vast majority of income received through the sale of resources.

For further information, please visit our Funding page.

Translation of information from English into another language must retain cultural relevance and accessibility, regardless of language. As a small organisation operating on a cost-recovery basis, cost:benefit assessment demonstrates that NDR-UK is only able to sustain English language versions of its resources at this time. We continue to log enquiries and continuously seek routes to sustainably increase relevance of, and access to, our resources.

We will consider requests from customers who have purchased our resources to release text for their translation for specific patients (not reproducing our resource content for volume distribution), on the basis that NDR-UK cannot be held responsible for the content in the alternative language/format.

Please email info@ndr-uk.org or call us on 0141 202 0690 to provide suggestions or requests relating to the provision of dietary information in alternative formats/languages.

Yes, simply register with us here.

We welcome your feedback on any of our published resources and aim to take feedback in to account when resources are being reprinted or reviewed.

Either email us at info@ndr-uk.org, fill out our contact form or call our Resource Manager on 0141 202 0690. 

PDF samples are provided online to allow customers to view them in detail and assess whether they meet their / their patients’ needs.

Samples are for reference only and are copyright protected.  This is because NDR-UK is a small, non-profit making company that is funded by leaflet sales.

NDR-UK suggests using a suitable space within a resource (usually on the back page) to place a sticker with the issuing department's logo and related details.  If that is not sufficient for your branding needs, please contact us on 0141 202 0690 or info@ndr-uk.org to discuss options.

NDR-UK resources give accurate, consistent health messages in a high quality, user-friendly and professionally printed format. Priced to cover costs only, NDR-UK resources are written by dietitians and produced using our robust production process, offering a value for money way of saving health professionals time and avoiding duplication of effort.

NDR-UK estimates that it can produce resources 33% more efficiently than individual departments. This is achieved through greater efficiencies in the development and management of a centralised service for resources.

NDR-UK resources are divided into ranges that provide different types of diet and nutritional information. The development group for each resource agrees how much support the target patient/client group will require when being issued with the resource. The diet-sheet is then risk-assessed and placed in the appropriate range when it is published. This ensures that the information is communicated and understood appropriately.

The ranges / classifications are:

PiL / Patient Information Leaflet

Enforcement of healthy eating messages for self-management - advice is easily understood requiring no additional explanation.

HP / Health Professional

Advice requires some explanation from a Health Professional who has basic nutrition knowledge to enable correct implementation.

SHP / Specialist Health Professional

Advice requires detailed explanation from a Dietitian or other specialist Health Professional with the required level of nutrition knowledge to enable understanding and implementation of the advice/guidance.

DT / Dietitian Only

Advice is complex, condition specific and requires a Dietitian with knowledge, skills and experience in the condition.

We always aim to be practitioner-led, so if you have identified a gap in the nutrition and diet resources available in your line of work please do let us know.

Either email us at info@ndr-uk.org, fill out our contact form or call our Resource Manager on 0141 020 0690. 

Joining a project group is an opportunity to extend your knowledge and understanding of areas of interest/speciality, networking with dietitians and other health professionals from across the UK and developing skills in critical appraisal, writing and project based activities.  

In addition, by bringing your knowledge and expertise, you directly influence the content and format of resources, in turn ensuring that your patients’ needs are met whilst benefitting patients and practitioners through evidence-based, consistent messages.

Yes. Please see our page ‘Commission our work’.

Due to our prices being structured around a cost-recovery model, requests for discounts on bulk purchases have to be considered on a case-by-case basis.

We provide discounts on purchases of 10 or more books of 'Recipes for Life' (ref: 9016) and consider discounts for other products if the quantity ordered enabled us to print at higher volumes and achieve a lower break-even price than we would normally have been able to realise.

NDR-UK is a small charity that is funded by the sale of resources. Prices are based on a cost-recovery model that directly reflects development and production costs, therefore we cannot provide resources free of charge.

The Scottish Government (Population Health Improvement Directorate) has been a key strategic and funding partner in the creation and on-going development of NDR-UK. The Scottish Government continues to provide strategic input and some on-going core funding specifically to allow a 20% discount to be applied to Scottish-based customers.

NDR Prescribe is an easy to use, flexible, web-based system that sits alongside NDR-UK’s printed resources.

It allows health professionals to ‘prescribe’ – by email – evidence-based nutrition and diet resources to support implementation of advice given by their health professional. Contact details, branding and signposting can all be customised with personal targets, notes and follow-up information added to the resources.

The system provides patients with access to the tailored, prescribed advice whenever they want it – on their phones, tablet or computer, or by printing at home.

Everyone from freelancers through to managers of large teams/departments can manage their budgets via a flexible and cost-effective ‘credits’ based system.

Before starting to use NDR Prescribe, refer to our User Guide and supporting information.

Yes! NDR Prescribe is for information prescriptions.  All NDR-UK resources are risk assessed into 4 categories (see link above).  We strongly recommend that the resources are prescribed with the support of the appropriate health and social care professional(s).

For more information on what you need to start using NDR Prescribe, visit Requirements.

For more information, visit NDR Prescribe User Types.

If you choose to accept an invitation to join a new team or from a new Administrator, your NDR Prescribe details will be updated. This can include moving from a Team Lead to a User or a User to a Team Lead. Any credits you have will be passed back to your Team Lead or Administrator.

If you are an Administrator, but do not have any credits, Users or Teams, you can accept an invitation to join a new team/Administrator and your details will be updated.

If you are an Administrator with credits, Users or Teams, contact us and a member of NDR-UK staff will be able to update your settings so that you can change your user level and your credits, Users and/or Team are managed by a new Administrator.

Your NDR Prescribe account will be linked to your email address. Should you wish to set up more than one NDR Prescribe account for different roles / purposes, you will be required to use a separate email address.

For more information, visit NDR Prescribe - Inviting Users.

To begin using NDR Prescribe you will first buy, or be allocated, a bundle of ‘credits’, which you will draw down on each time you prescribe a resource.

Please refer to Managing and Distributing Credits or browse NDR's Shop and search for 'Credits' (code NDRCR).

Almost all of NDR-UK’s developed resources will be available through NDR Prescribe.  Resources that are not available, are: those developed by other organisations e.g. Carbs & Cals; those that are not suitable for viewing via a screen and/or use stickers, charts or other devices to interact with patients out with a consultation setting e.g. Adult Learning Disability activity charts, or; those that will shortly be updated.

Just like NDR-UK’s printed resources, NDR Prescribe resources vary in price.  The credit value is typically around 20% cheaper than the cash equivalent for the printed resource.

NDR Prescribe resource can only be used through credits.  The aim of the system is to save people time and money.  Charging for single purchase resources would not achieve this.

From 01/08/23, credits will be valid for 1 year following purchase.  Credits purchased up to and including 31/07/23 do not expire. 

If you have not used any credits and change your mind within 30 days of purchase, NDR-UK can refund you in line with our 30-day money back guarantee.

You will receive a copy of each prescription that you have sent to patients and can save this to the patient’s record.  The prescribed resource will show the date, time, email address and name of the person that the resource was prescribed to.

No.  The emails are private with no tracking to ensure confidentiality.

No.  Each prescription is for use by a single, named patient only.  Printing and/or distributing a prescribed resource is in breach of copyright and our Terms & Conditions.

Individual policies and procedures need to be consulted directly.  NDR-UK will happily provide any additional information that you need to reassure your Board/Trust/other that the service meets local requirements.  Please contact the team for further information.

Personal preferences must always be considered.  NDR Prescribe may not be appropriate for all patients – NDR-UK continue to provide its full range of printed resources via NDR’s Shop.
